Elise was the ideal refined lady. She was exactly the type Belinda favored.
This was good news for Ariana. She wouldn’t have to deal with Brian constantly watching her anymore.
Brian didn’t miss the look of delight on Ariana’s face. Seeing this, a surge of anger flared in his chest.
Was she really that eager for him to meet another woman?
Belinda continued, “Originally, | had high hopes for you two, but these few months of interaction prove you're
just not compatible. Brian needs someone who can manage household affairs for him. Ms. Torrey, you have your
own aspirations, so there's no point trying to force you to stay together.”
It was obvious that Belinda blamed Ariana for failing as a fiancée.

Ariana nodded, not bothering to argue.
Belinda wanted Brian to have a wife who was both stunning to show off in public and dependable at home.
Ariana remembered how she used to cook and clean for Brian, putting his needs above everything. She felt

“Alright, I've said what | needed to say. Ms. Torrey, don’t take it too personally. There are plenty of good men here
in Gleaston. Even though your father has passed, I'm still willing to help you find a decent partner someday.”
“There’s no need, Madam Mackle. | don’t intend to marry anytsoon.”
Even if she did want to marry, she certainly wouldn't rely on Belinda to help her find a husband.
Belinda had brought it up merely out of politeness, so she just nodded. Standing up, she said, “It's getting late.
I'll be going.”

him more than once she intended to break it off, but he never believed her. His face darkened even more. He
asked coldly, “Is it because of William? Or Victor?”

Hearing this, Ariana was stunned. “What?”
Brian stepped closer, his gaze turning even colder. Grabbing her arm, he asked, “Is it William or Victor you've
latched onto? Or are you planning to string them both along?
